If you’re going to fire off harsh quotes about Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper, you better be willing to put your name on them. If you don’t, Harper’s general manager might have some strong words for you.

What happened?

An anonymous National League executive ripped Harper in comments to Robert Murray of FRSBaseball.com. He called Harper overrated, selfish and a “losing player.”

While the Nats were taking batting practice Tuesday, Rizzo addressed those comments with some strong language.

What did Rizzo say?

Rizzo started out by explaining the many ways in which he thought Harper was a winner. Rizzo cited all of Harper’s accomplishments — including his Rookie of the Year award, All-Star appearances, MVP award and playoff appearances. He also mentioned Harper has been great for the community in D.C.
